Three Speech is wanting to know.
“Out for just two weeks, or perhaps from two hazy-hazy decades ago.

Tell us what was so good about them as well and we’ll get a list going here. Thanks in advance, for your ever-interesting comments and opinions.”

Some Home Information
Interview + Three Speech + Sony + Home
03.11.2007 at 12:33 pm
We mentioned earlier we wanted more Home information and Three Speech delivers.
What’s the function of the lobby and what is the maximum number of users that can be in a lobby?
“The lobby is the central meeting place where you can meet new friends or arrange to meet old friends, before transferring to a private meeting place. The current maximum of concurrent users in a lobby is 64.”
Can you enter a game like MotorStorm quickly through Home without having to travel to the specific MotorStorm lobby?
“Currently, users can find each other in Home, and then arrange to go off and play MotorStorm at the same time. Eventually, users will be able to meet in Home and seamlessly launch into a game of MotorStorm. Similarly, users will be able to exit to Home directly from the game.”
Check the site for full interview.

Are Video Game Reviews Bias?
PS3 + GameSpot + Three Speech + Fanboys + Sony + Opinion
03.05.2007 at 3:30 pm
ThreeSpeech has put up a great article concerning the state of the video game review. In it we found something that hits close to our heart.
“There’s another reason why game reviews may have lost some of the regard and influence they once held - slant. Many people comment on how they feel certain journalists/publishers have a particular lean towards one platform over another. I often see concern and speculation on forums as to which game site is on the payroll of which company. Is there any truth in it? Who knows, but it has to be said that game sites rarely do themselves any favours when they cease being impartial - or worse, consistently denigrate a particular platform to the extent that it becomes obvious.”
That’s why we created this site, to discuss and follow news about that very thing (as well as have some community fun). How partial can big gaming sites be while they collect their paychecks through advertising paid for by the games they’re reviewing? A game doesn’t sell well and advertising dollars will dry up. On a daily basis I read forum posts about sites giving certain games and companies a more favorable review, preview and push. It got so bad lately that GameSpot had to start banning users that discussed their alleged Sony/PS3 hatred.
“Okay, everyone that comes here has at least seen one of these whiny threads saying that GS hates the PS3…Well, from now on everyone that makes one of these threads will be suspended for a minimum of 5 days. If you guys don’t like GS, don’t post here. It’s not hard and you’re not being forced.”
“To all of you that think this violates you first amendment rights…This is a privately owned organization with it’s own set of rules, the Terms of Use. You don’t have freedom of speech unless it falls within that frame of reference. None of this does since it is trolling the staff.”
So are big gaming sites becoming more and more swayed by the dollars then they are the actual quality of the games they review?

Phil Harrison talks about PS3 Backwards Compatibility
PS3 + Interview + Three Speech
03.01.2007 at 9:37 am
Three Speech spoke with Harrison recently about the subject and was told:
“The situation is changing every day, but on March 23, we expect the list to include over 1,000 PS2 titles.”
So there you go. Still, my problem isn’t with the backwards compatibility but with Sony’s bashing of Microsoft for a year and then doing the exact same thing. To make it worse the exact Sony fanboys that joined in on the Microsoft bashing are all now rallying behind Sony saying that it’s all a non issue and software emulation is the way to go. Ah, fanboys.
